Is it contempt if spouse has second thoughts on divorce, asks Delhi HC to larger bench

Can a spouse be held guilty for contempt if he or she has second thoughts about going for divorce by mutual consent after agreeing before a court to take that step, is a question referred by a Delhi High Court judge to a larger bench. Voicing concern over the contradictory views taken earlier in rulings, Justice Manmohan expressed "serious doubts" on the practice of the courts hauling up spouses for contempt if they renege from their earlier stand of divorce by mutual consent during the six-month interval period.
